Entryways, hallways, and kitchens require durable materials that resist scratching, denting, and visible wear patterns. Materials rated for light traffic show deterioration within years when placed in busy areas.

Pet claws scratch soft surfaces and gouge materials without adequate hardness ratings. C & G Remodeling and Roofing recommends scratch-resistant options like luxury vinyl, tile, or harder wood species for pet households.

Families with young children benefit from durable, stain-resistant surfaces that withstand spills and high activity levels. Softer materials show damage quickly from dropped toys, tracked-in dirt, and constant foot traffic.

Bathrooms, laundry rooms, and entryways require water-resistant materials that won’t warp, swell, or develop mold. Hardwood in moisture-prone areas fails despite its beauty due to humidity and standing water exposure.

Kitchens need flooring that handles spills, dropped items, and constant traffic without staining or scratching. Carpet traps moisture and odors that cleaning cannot fully remove in food preparation areas.

Below-grade spaces require waterproof materials that resist moisture from concrete slabs and higher humidity levels. Traditional hardwood and standard laminate fail quickly in basement environments without proper moisture barriers.

Janka hardness ratings measure wood’s resistance to denting and wear from daily use. C & G Remodeling and Roofing helps match hardness ratings to your household’s activity levels and furniture weight.

AC ratings indicate laminate abrasion resistance—AC3 suits standard residential use while AC5 handles heavy commercial traffic. Attractive materials with inadequate ratings show damage quickly, regardless of initial appearance.

Wear layer thickness in luxury vinyl determines how long the flooring maintains its appearance under traffic and use. Thicker wear layers provide better long-term performance in high-traffic residential applications.

Light flooring shows every mark, scratch, and dirt particle, requiring constant cleaning in active households. Dark options can show dust but generally hide wear patterns better over time.

Installing one flooring type throughout ignores different performance needs per room and moisture considerations. Strategic material changes between spaces optimize performance and longevity for each area’s specific demands.
